Today looked like a nice day to hash. The weather was nice, and today's location was in a residential area of the city of Baarn. I thought it would be interesting to visit a hash in a built-up area for a change, since I usually hash in forests and fields. So off to Baarn I went and found the location pretty quickly. It was located in a park-like area between two rows of houses. I took a few pictures and then explored the area a bit. About 1 km to the south there was a monument to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Quatre_Bras 1815 Battle of Quatre Bras], in which the British-Dutch-Prussian alliance managed to defeat the French near Brussels, paving the way to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

Expedition

Today looked like a nice day to hash. The weather was nice, and today's location was in a residential area of the city of Baarn. I thought it would be interesting to visit a hash in a built-up area for a change, since I usually hash in forests and fields. So off to Baarn I went and found the location pretty quickly. It was located in a park-like area between two rows of houses. I took a few pictures and then explored the area a bit. About 1 km to the south there was a monument to the 1815 Battle of Quatre Bras, in which the British-Dutch-Prussian alliance managed to defeat the French near Brussels, paving the way to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.
